Comedy role for X-Files star Duchovny

This is somewhat off my beaten track but put it down to parental pride. Showtime, the popular US subscription TV channel, has just given the go-ahead to a new comedy series starring David Duchovny, that guy off The X-Files. He plays a divorced writer who, though addicted to women, still carries a torch for his former partner, played by my step-daughter, Natascha McElhone. The pilot was called Californication but that will surely change before the 12-episode series kicks off in the summer. (Via Variety)
